RE-IMAGINING

Design-BuilD

wo years ago, Rosendin began a process to re-
imagine how our teams perform design-build
T projects. The result is the development of an

internal certification program for Rosendin employees
who work on design-build projects.

The team developing this certification program includes individuals
from various departments, including Preconstruction, Engineering,
BIM, Training, Project Management, and Field Operations.
Throughout 2021 and 2022, this team worked to determine the
skill sets needed for the successful delivery of design-build projects,
developed a manual, and implemented an evaluation process by
which Rosendin employees can become certified.
Now known as Rosendin Design Build (RDB), this team actively works
to ensure that all Rosendin design-build projects include at least one
RDB-certified construction professional. RDB is working toward a
goal of having all project leads on any design-build project certified
under this program.

WHY RDB CERTIFICATION?

The assembly of a design-build team is key, and understanding the
roles and responsibilities of each team member is of the utmost
importance. As each person executes their portion of the project,
there is an expectation that all team members are accountable
to the project team. In addition, the use of metrics is essential to
provide RDB teams with real-time feedback on how successfully
they are executing work and following the RDB process. Metrics are
intended to be based on quantifiable data and made available at
predictable intervals or milestones, including budget conformance,
customer satisfaction, project rework/changes, schedule
conformance, and project efficiency.
“It’s not difficult to convince customers of the benefits of design-
build. They know that the design-build process brings a collaborative
spirit, practical perspectives, and cost-effective design to projects,”
said Ron Wilson, P.E., Vice President, Engineering. “Individuals
interested in completing the program can submit a request form to
learn more about the criteria and timeline. More than 25 Rosendin
construction professionals have participated in the program, with 25
currently certified.”
